USA is playing very well of late and will have all their starters in this time.
France hasn't looked very good and even messy at times. Dangerous yes but so much would have to change in their game this summer to upset the USA team tomorrow

Without Ngapeth, I like USA chance to win this match. With him, that would be a totally different story.

He is a mercurial dude and as long as we stay methodical and businesslike he just as apt to be apathetic if things don't go right as he hasn't been with the team and can easily distance himself from the impending Loss. But....if we get him riled up and nose bent then I agree things could get spicy. Either way, the USA team is playing and competing at a very high level and momentum is on their side. |

Their LS play was their achilles imo. I love Clevenots game but to me he cant be the guy that carries the load. |

I think he is the missing piece right now that will make this France team very scary to play against. His passing, back row defense and OOS swings are much needed. |
